Captain Haddock won under today’s rider at Epsom last summer while Magna Moralia could go well partnered by Serena Brotherton, the latter returns to the Flat along with Cogital and Menin Gate while Socially Shady and Kitten's Dream have a shout dropping down in trip. King's Castle went close in one of these events at Wolverhampton recently but EL PICADOR should be spot on now with a couple of recent outings under his belt, including a close-up third at Southwell, and Becky Smith can steer him home in front.
